Hello, everyone! And welcome to my first official Disney Trip Report! You can read my Pre Trip Report which is linked in my signature - "How Perfect Can I Make This Trip?" As you may see, the title of this trip report is in response to that question.
While I may have had a small hiccup here and there, I really believe I couldn't have asked for a better trip for my first completely solo venture. I was there for ten days and only got a little grumpy twice. And once was easily remedied with ice cream.
I was able to change plans last minute and generally just decide for myself what to do. I discovered a love of meeting characters, which I never really had before. That made this into a trip like no other I'd ever been on. I really had a wonderful time from start to finish. I never got overly tired. And I didn't feel like I missed out on anything. It was a good length of time, though of course I could have stayed another week of two.
If you didn't read my Pre Trip Report, here's a little bit about me: My name is Julie and I live in New York City. I'm a Disney Cast Member and set out to abuse my perks as much as possible on this trip. I have been a lover of the Disney Animated Classics my whole life, but only started going to the parks when I was a bit older. I went for the first time for my college graduation trip in 2009. I've been addicted ever since.
Here are some of the trip basics:
Who: Just me! Julie is on her own and on the loose!
What: The Best Dang Solo Disney Trip of All Time
When: August 16-25, 2018, the hottest ten days of the year
Where: Contemporary Resort, Tower Room with Bay Lake View, a.k.a. Heaven
How: JetBlue Airlines from JFK to MCO and lots of budgeting
Also, I'll put in a bit of a disclaimer. I did take a lot of photos, and I had Memory Maker, which provided me with all sort of wonderful character photos. But I don't have a photo for everything. I'll put in as much as I have, but this won't be loaded down with picture after picture. Hopefully it's enjoyable anyway.
Here's a copy of the schedule I use to organize myself before the trip. I have updated it to cover what I actually did, because some was left up to what I was feeling at the moment. I made all my ADRs, but the Quick Service and Snack choices were flexible.
So this is a sort of overview of what's to come. I took lots of notes while I was there and really enjoyed tracking everything I did. That way I hope to forget very little. It really was as perfect as it gets. And I can't wait to go back!
Up next will be travel and maybe a bit about arrival and Magic Kingdom. Enjoy!
